South Lanarkshire school leavers are exceeding national benchmarks.
New data has revealed that young people leaving school across the region are stronger in comparison to their peers in the West Partnership of nearby local authorities as well as nationally.
The four national benchmarking levels are attainment in literacy and numeracy, attainment for all, and attainment vs deprivation with an emphasis on closing the gap and post-school participation. At levels three and four, attainment in numeracy has improved since 2019 and at levels five and six, attainment in numeracy remains in line with the 2019 levels and remains higher than the virtual comparator.
The data also shows that some measures in the attainment gap remain high, and there is evidence of more young people from less affluent backgrounds leaving school earlier.
